As I look forward to the coming week, I am appreciative that I get to work from home the first business day of every month. If it is the end of a quarter, I get to work from home the first two business days of every month. Yes, I get to use those days working on month end and quarter end reports. I have done this for the past three years. That is a privilege, especially considering the long drive from Florissant to downtown every day. Therefore, I do not take it for granted.
Often, we receive privileges and we do not pause to be grateful for them. If we do give thanks, in the same breath that we are saying we are grateful we are saying what else should be happening for us or “I wish…” Let “us” start spending more time giving thought to what “we” can do for someone else. Let “us” think about what is it that “we” are not willing to relinquish in our lives and how “we” can be vessels in every aspect of our lives for God. Let us stop letting our minds just runaway with “what else” we think we need or want.
“But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also.” (Matthew 6:33 Amplified)
